Give labourers footballers wages is a new one like

I would love this at NUFC only for the absolute fume it would generate from ST Holders. We might see our first bedsheet protest in years.

Wonder what root vegetable the press will portray him as?
-
Just seen England are playing tonight. Can only imagine how unarsed the players are, having to play Senegal in a friendly on June 10th like. Let them fuck off on holiday ffs.

If we're buying Pedro, he's not going to be a rotation player. Were not going to spend that amount of money on a player who doesn't go straight into the 11 with everyone fit. He's going to start. Either in a different position to what he normally plays at Brighton or Howe is going to change our system. I don't think we're after him though, I don't think Howe will tinker too much with our system and he doesn't seem to fit in with how we set up now.

The Managerial Merry Go Round™ - Frank in at Tottenham
Doctor Zaius replied to cp40's topic in Football
Spurs absolutely right to get rid of Ange. He's crafted the worst Spurs team I've ever seen. They were absolutely hopeless in the league and showed no reasons why they'd improve. Yes, he won the Europa League, but the chasm between the PL and the rest of Europe means Spurs had a budget that absolutely dwarfs all of the other clubs in the competition (aside from Man Utd). It's also weakened from no CL clubs dropping into it. They'd have been at worst, second favourites to win it all season. Based on facts and foresight, Levy is bang on to peddle him else he'd be gone by Christmas anyway when their woeful league form no doubt continues -
Hope it does. Giving it all high and mighty about our ownership while Textor owns multiple clubs across Europe. Fuck any dispensation, thems the rules. Its a clear conflict of interest. Forest shouldnt be allowed in the same competition as Olympiakos either.

The Managerial Merry Go Round™ - Frank in at Tottenham

Disappointed they didnt go for Ancelotti Jnr. Would have quite liked to see how he got on. -
Shame about this. Thought he was a perfect fit. Unless hes a fan, you have to question any player thats going there over a club in the Champions League like.
-
I'm in a minority but I'd take him as a backup striker on a reasonable financial package. He has ability and I think Howe could get something out of him. The thing that puts me off is his horrific injury record. It's obviously taken a toll on his body, how much is the question.
-
Can't believe they're going to keep Amorim like. Absolutely epitomises the sunken cost fallacy.
-
Delap will fancy himself to start as the main man at Chelsea. He wont be here. He's simply not going to be second fiddle anywhere. He was never a realistic option for us. Finding a forward, who is good enough to come in and perform in the games we rotate, yet will accept that Isak will be the main man will be the hardest job of the summer. I think you're looking at a forward who hasnt played enough to command a starting spot anywhere, or a player who knows their ability isnt at Isaks level and is content with playing second fiddle.

Reckon Mbuemo and Guehi would be two top quality additions.

https://www.football365.com/news/newcastle-paul-mitchell-leaves-mutual-consent-isak-rumours-barcelona Reported in local rags but nothing concrete. Seems the most likely case that Mitchell wasnt liked. I dont fully understand what a Sporting Director even does if im honest. -
The Europeometer™ (2024/25) - NUFC Qualify for Champions League
Doctor Zaius replied to Rich's topic in Football
Did the CL Draw simulator and got: Home: Barcelona, Leverkusen, Monaco, PSV Away: Bayern, Villareal, Marseille, Ferencvaros Certainly some old foes there. Think we'd qualify from that too. -
Jacob Murphy is fucking pathetic at times like

Who makes stuff like this?

Garnacho will be at a Turkish club within 5 years.

Newcastle United vs. Everton: 25/05/25 @ 16:00 (No UK TV)
Doctor Zaius replied to HaydnNUFC's topic in Football
Disgrace this isnt on TV. So glad i dont give the TV companies a penny. -
Never known a less pragmatic manager than Amorim. Has he really only got one system? It's been obvious since he arrived that he doesn't have the players for it. They're shocking under him. So many issues in this Man Utd team. Keeper is shite. Full backs don't look anything special. Still playing Maguire. Casemiros legs have gone and Hojlund/Zirkzee are both way, way off the pace. Fernandes, Yoro and Diallo the only real sparks.
-
Nice that it no longer unbearably painful watching other teams win trophies now
-
Spurs had one shot all game
-
They're absolutely crap like. Nothing about them as a team. Got to peddle Amorim like. He doesn't have a clue.
-
Man Utd were absolutely crap like. Spurs did defend well. Hopefully they keep Postecoglu now
